Michael made my son who despises getting his picture taken comfortable, and he got some amazing shots. We’re lucky to have found him!

Michael was great to work with. He had a fabulous attitude and had unique ideas for matching clothing choices with poses & settings that matched my daughter's personality perfectly. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for her Senior pictures.

Michael has done my family and wedding photos. If you want someone who knows how to pose you, catch every little detail, and take total care of you - this is it. He one man showed my wedding and knew exactly where to go, how to catch every shot, and he even took my rings and dress on a field trip to get all the little details perfectly. The quality of the photos are magical. This isnt your run of the mill photography. This is high quality and worth every dollar, every time. I cant wait for our next round of family photos next year!

Michael was so fun to work with when he recently captured my senior’s photos! The pictures turned out amazing and he ensures that you are satisfied with the final results. He has the expertise to take wonderful photos that do not require a ton of editing so he is able to get your photos to you incredibly fast. I would recommend him for anyone looking for a talented and professional photographer.

Michael was a dream. Not only were our photos amazing but our experience. Michael was on top of the timeline easy to talk to and went above and beyond to make our day special. We absolutely can't wait to work with Michael again in the future.

I just want to say a huge thank you to Michael for capturing such beautiful senior pictures for Isabella. You truly went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and it shows in every photo. Your talent for finding the perfect lighting, poses, and locations made the whole experience fun and stress‑free. These pictures are more than just photos — they’re memories we’ll treasure forever. I highly recommend Michael Woolheater to anyone looking for senior pictures (or any special occasion photos). Your work speaks for itself, and we’re so grateful!

Pictures from the opera with South Dakota Symphony Orchestra were outstanding. It's hard to shoot something like that well and Michael nailed it.

I had the pleasure to have a photoshoot with THEE Michael Woolheater. Michael is a very talented young man and wanted to expand his talent even more-so and wanted to work with someone with a darker skin complexion like mine. This is exactly what makes him stand out amongst the many photographers in the Midwest area. He's wanting to get EVERY ANGLE, in regards to capturing the whole spectrum of shades and differences. He's more than a photographer with a nice set up. Our couple of photoshoots, even allowed me to see that I was in my element of being in front of the camera, and he was able to highlight that, while working with him. And of course, the results spoke VOLUMES.
